Ron Paul wins California GOP Straw Poll by over 15% of the vote. Article alludes to Democrats who voted for Obama in 2008 voting for Ron Paul in 2012.

Wow! Nice video of the crowd waiting for him in California. He’s bigger than Bobby Kennedy was. Ron Paul is a very serious contender for the nomination.

Ron Paul wouldn’t do so well in straw polls if it wasn’t for his rabid followers? Well what does that tell you?

Perhaps 2012 is really the “end” to all the B.S. that that Americans have had to endure. Long live the Revolution!

Dr. Paul, I donated to your campaign earlier today, and I’d like to also say Congratulations on the win in California. Your wins in blue states shows how universal your message of freedom and liberty really is. We are behind you, stay the course!

@r3volution – HELL YEAH!!! I’ve been watching and reading so much about America’s military, political, and economic force through places like Mexico, Panama, Afghanistan, Egypt, Zimbabwe, most of Eastern Europe, Israel, the Middle East, and Vietnam (mind you, I’m only 26, so most of this occurred before I was born or very young). I am now absolutely set on making U.S. foreign policy my #1 voting issue for 2012…..I will not support ANYONE unless they commit/promise/swear that U.S. foreign policy is coming to an end. It’s bankrupting us financially, philosophically, morally, and ethically. If 2012 does not bring an end to our past ways, I will leave this country. RP 2012 or bust.

The Fox New article was as short as possible. They can try to ignore him but we’re gaining ground!

FOX News can kiss the ass end out of rhino for all we care. They’re nothing but a corporate mechanism to push candidates that are on their payroll. Anyone who watches ANYTHING form that network has no critical thinking skills……or a brain for that matter.

The tide has turn, a new generation of Rebuplic is waking up. Young people of America, let’s take our freedome back, the old will stomp the fire, but this time they won’t succeed, we owe it to ourself to know what freedome is all about. Freedome is personal responsibility and self control, Ron Paul fights for the very freedome the old had taken from us, keep the fire of freedome alive, learn from our founders and never fall asleep defending the Rebulic that was given to us. Ron Paul the SAGE of my generation. Congratulation for winning the straw poll in CA.

Paul is the only one making any sense! Remove all the troops we have around the world. End the idiot drug war. And we will have a surplus of cash, and America can start to be the place it should be!

hey Chris, can’t say it any better, so I just gave you a thumbs up
833 ballots, or 833,000 ballots, I see it as a snap shot of what the bigger picture is, but I never fully trust polls I can vote in
but a win is a win, I’ll take as many as I can for Ron Paul.

Thanks Bob. Just like so many others did in 2008 for Obama, I may have my emotional moment in 2012 and cry if we finally get him elected.
